update-m1n1: allow default script to take over building m1n1 binary #13

Mini addition but also discussion.

Let's allow users to have their own script to manage m1n1 since not everyone might be using UBoot GRUB etc.

Personally I directly boot my kernel from m1n1 stage 2 and have mini scripts that also (minimally) manage binary files such that I always have at least a snapshot of:

The last successful direct m1n1 stage 2 boot.
The last successful UBoot GRUB boot. (for USB fixing etc.)

Sure, that makes sense. Two comments:

You need to sign off on your commits
M1N1_UPDATED doesn't seem like a very obvious name to me. Maybe M1N1_MANUALLY_MANAGED or DISABLE_UPDATE_M1N1?
